Simple is best. I've never had any problems under Debian building and installing Linux kernels the 'old fashioned' way. cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install Copy the compressed kernel image from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to /boot using an appropriate name of your choice such as vmlinuz-2.2.9 (don't overwrite your old one!) Edit /etc/lilo.conf to reference your new kernel (see the man page for lilo.conf) lilo shutdown -r now After the system comes back up, as root, run depmod -a. It's probably already being run by the /etc/init.d/modutils boot script but running it again won't hurt anything, and will make sure it's done. > 2) > How can I get dmesg or some log file to save a complete list > of all the messages that the kernel prints when it is booting. > It a little irrating booting and rebooting just so as to be > able to read boot messages. Ctrl-S will stop the load process and freeze your display. Ctrl-Q will restart it. This may help. I believe the scroll-lock key works as a toggle on this on current kernels. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | |
